Police Station at Tsin Wan (C.S.O. 3061/1908).
The Chairman submitted a plan of a Police Station which it was proposed to erect at Tsün Wan, together with a map of the district showing the position of the site, and stated that the estimated cost of the work was $13,500. He mentioned that the sum appearing in the current year's Estimates as the cost of the work was $8,000 and explained that this estimate was prepared in 1908, when it was considered that a small building similar to the Hunghom Police Station would suffice. The building now proposed was considerably larger, the Captain Superintendent of Police considering that more accommodation was necessary; hence the increase in the estimated cost.
The Committee unanimously agreed to recommend that the work be proceeded with in accordance with the plans submitted.
The Committee then adjourned.
Laid before the Legislative Council this 2nd day of June, 1910.
